There is no future without digital skills
How schools can prepare their students for the digital revolution
Highlights
- ICT as a diagnostic and prognostic tool
- Personalise teaching and learning
- Technology can actually shrink the world
Event summary
53% of teachers who attended the symposium admit not having enough tools and training to promote digital skills in the classroom.
The three experts analyse the skills that students in the 21st century need to be successful in work and life in general: critical, creative and collaborative thinking, communication and the ability to learn how to learn.
Education technology
They also address the role, advantages, and possibilities offered by EdTech, as well as the transformations it implies, from modifications of the teacher-student relationship to the paradigm shift in the way of evaluating.
Finally, several learning challenges are identified that directly affect schools, teachers, students and families: the lack of time for lesson planning, the need for constant teacher training (especially in ICT), more flexibility and better curriculum planning, the reduction of ratios, the relationship with families and the digital divide.
